Backdated to this morning

[forgedinbattle]

[Xena does wake up where she went to sleep. Instead, she finds herself in the lobby this morning- in a much smaller (and much cuter) form.

Don't mind her, she's just going to be scurrying about, trying to avoid being stepped on and figuring out what exactly she's supposed to do until this wears off. Feel free to harass the hedgehog. Just don't expect her to be happy about it.]

[Well, she certainly agrees with that! Have a little squeak and an attempt at a nod.]

[withmymind]

Taken away. [ She moves her hand, stretching it out with her palm up ]

Need protecting.

[forgedinbattle]

[Are you...wanting her to crawl in your hand? Sorry, no. No offense, slightly creepy girl.

She'll just continue to stare.]

[withmymind]

[ It's okay, little hedgehog, she'll patiently wait ]

No better alternative. Danger, it's coming.

[forgedinbattle]

[Well, you've got a point. But how is she to know that you're not going to drop her? Or do any number of things? There's only so much a ferocious little hedgehog can do, you know.

...That said, if you mess with her, you're likely to require a clinic visit.]

[withmymind]

[ But what other option is there, little hedgehog?

She's just going to look at you, neutral faced (or with maybe a little concern) and wait with her hand out for you ]

[forgedinbattle]

[Oh, fine. She'll scurry into River's palm and look up at the girl with a look. Don't try anything funny...]

[withmymind]

[ Lifting her hand River slowly sits, bringing her other hand to it to make a cup for the hedgehog to have a bigger place to sit on ]

Safe now.

[ There's a smile as she stands, taking her away from the lobby to the room that she shares with Zoe ]
